>Then what is the point of having a 'Master' control at all? Why not >just forget about Master and move the sliders yourself? how can you say such thing and why would you do this? the master is there- to control the global audio output so you wouldn't have to bother with the rest. on the beginning- when you place speakers in your room you only set the ratio of how should the speakers be loud, depending on their position- and then the master controls them all at once automatically (the same way you do with real speaker hardware control)
>However, be aware that your proposal below is very, very >different to how PA behaves (and how PA will be expected to behave)... in this case the `volume controls` inside ubuntu are moving into a very wrong direction for 5.1 users if they keep pulseaudio >2) There is no guarantee it will be what other users want this is pretty much how all the speakers in the world work oh boy i shouldn't have bought these geniuses, i should have just got some speakers with proper expandable hardware volume sliders and then i wouldn't have trouble with volume control on ubuntu. i guess i will have to stick to my old windows xp where it works properly but the way how the volume control for 5.1 in ubuntu behaves now is not correct, nor user friendly -- Volume Control wrong for 5.1 sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501034 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
